note 61875 added to function.parse-ini-file

Be careful if you put any .ini file in your readable directories, if somebody would know the name (e.g. if your application is widely used), the webserver might return it as plain text. For example : your database username and password could be exposed, if it is stored in that file ! To prevent this from happening : - give the file .php extension : "my.ini.php" - put ';<?php' (without quotes and without X between X and php) on first line - put ';?>' on last line The server would run the ini file as being PHP-code, but will do nothing due to bad syntax, preventing the content from being exosed. On the other hand, it is still a valid .ini file...
